Another console saved from death. Xbox Series X, beep on and off instantly. Tracked down a short circuit on the 3 volt power rail, all caused by this tiny capacitor. Removed and short gone, replaced, back in business 😎
This had also been somewhere else for a hdmi port replacement. Nicely burnt board from the heat applied. Don't worry whoever you are, I cleaned your mess and replaced the missing thermal paste and screws you left out. If you do a job do it properly 😉
